Greek Lamb & Orzo Youvetsi
Get the recipe here:
Ingredients
6 lamb shanks
1 large onion, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil
5-6 garlic cloves, grated
1 (15 ounce) can pureed tomatoes
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dry crushed oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4-5 cups water
1 pound uncooked orzo
1 and ½ teaspoons salt
3 cups boiling hot water
Garnish:
feta cheese, parsley, freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 °F, 230 °C.
Drizzle a very small amount of olive oil over lamb shanks and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast in preheated oven for 35 minutes until they become nicely browned. This step eliminates the need to brown on the stove top.
While the lamb is browning in the oven prepare the sauce: In a heavy bottomed pot, cook the chopped onions with the oil over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant. Add the pureed canned tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Once the lamb is browned, remove from oven. Reduce the oven's temperature to 375 °F, 190 °C.
Pour the tomato sauce over the lamb. Cover the tray with foil and return to oven and braise for 2-2 and 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove from oven and taste the sauce. Adjust the seasoning if it needs more salt.
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
Place the uncooked orzo into the lamb and sauce and mix. Add the 3 cups of boiling hot water along with 1 and ½ teaspoons salt. Mix well to incorporate.
Return the pan to the oven and bake at 425 °F, 220 °C for 15-20 minutes, covered with foil.
Remove foil and cook 10 minutes uncovered.
Take the baking pan out of the oven and pour 1 cup of ice into it to stop the orzo from cooking. Mix it carefully. This will keep the orzo from overcooking and becoming gelatinous or mushy. It also adds to the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, crumbled feta or grated parmesan cheese.
Enjoy! Kali Orexi!
